The Nissan GT-R sportscar is a fantastic ride, but it also carries a premium to go with its expensive price: the GT-R is the most expensive car to insure according to a recently published survey by Insure.com.

Consumers who are considering making a new car purchase are likely to find some of the best buys this year. That is because auto sales are way down and car manufacturers are looking to move inventory and are willing to trim thousands of dollars off of the price of their vehicles. Clearly, it is a buyer’s market when it comes to purchasing a new car, something that will not last as inventory is adjusted to meet sales expectations.

One area that consumers should consider when making any new car purchase is car insurance. You may be able to save thousands of dollars off of the sticker price, but you could end up paying thousands of dollars extra over the next five years in elevated insurance premiums, effectively eating up what you saved initially.

Thanks to a survey recently conducted by Insure.com, you can find out how some of the top cars rated, a good measuring stick to find out what your insurance costs will be. In all cases, call your insurance agent first to get an estimate of what your new car insurance will cost you. You may be in for the surprise of your life, hopefully a good one at that!

Your age and location also have a big impact. Shopping around is the No. 1 easiest way to lower your rate, even if you can’t change your other ‘risk’ factors.”
